Yeah, suppose they could have used a building with more than 6 000 seats. Synchro brings a lot of fans. Think of how many relatives/friends each team member has. Anyways, great that the arena is full. Big show on and off ice

It's interesting you say that Canada 1 was stiff! They are so soft in the knees and smooth, it was mesmerizing watching them. I agree that they could have been skating to any music, though. Technically they were wonderful, which I suppose is the point of the short/technical program, after all.

However, they did not use their upper body in much of any way to express the music-which is why almost any music could have been playing.

At one point, Kelley Ristow (spelling?) the tech specialist at last year's World synchro championships said that that inability to make the trade off between carriage & expression was probably why they lost last year.
